Hello,
I have some uncertainties about this piece of code:

PHP Code:

points_amount = register_cvar("points_amount","5, 10");

new rand = random_num(get_pcvar_num(points_amount)) 


I want to know if this code will return that integers(or if it need to be a float variable) and if I can use get_pcvar_num instead get_cvar_pointer.

That won't work, i've quickly written something else, it's untested though, but i think u should be doing it something like this

PHP Code:

/* Plugin generated by AMXX-Studio */

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

#define PLUGIN "New Plug-In"
#define VERSION "1.0"
#define AUTHOR "author"

new points_amount;

public plugin_init() {
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
    
    points_amount = register_cvar("point_amount", "^"5^"^"10^"");
}

new szAmounts[32], iAmounts, iRand
get_pcvar_string(points_amount, szAmounts, charsmax(szAmounts));

remove_quotes(szAmounts);
iAmounts = str_to_num(szAmounts);

iRand = random(iAmounts);

Thanks for help, buy I want an explaination too.

What you're trying to do, is getting a random number between 5 and 10, in this case you're doing it wrong by doing follow things:

1) random_num() needs 2 arguments, and not just one.
2) Also your pcvar contains a "," which isn't a number, this will most likely throw an error.

If u want a random number to be picked from a cvar, you should be adding the numbers in the cvar without a "," but with quotes instead ("") like i'm doing it. Read the pcvar string, remove the quotes, convert it to an integer and get a random() integer out of it.

At least this is my theory, not sure if the code i provided will work though.

It won't work

Why don't you just use two pcvars instead of writing harder codes in just one? I'll not make your PC explode. But whatever:

PHP Code:

#include <amxmodx>
#include <amxmisc>

#define PLUGIN "New Plug-In"
#define VERSION "1.0"
#define AUTHOR "author"

new pcvarRandomValues

public plugin_init() 
{
    register_plugin(PLUGIN, VERSION, AUTHOR)
    
    register_clcmd("print", "printRandomValues")
    pcvarRandomValues = register_cvar("random_values", "5 10")
}

public printRandomValues(id)
{
    new szPcvarRandomValues[10]
    get_pcvar_string(pcvarRandomValues, szPcvarRandomValues, charsmax(szPcvarRandomValues))
    
    console_print(id, "---------- DEBUG INITIATION ----------")
    console_print(id, "- szPcvarRandomValues (value of the cvar): %s", szPcvarRandomValues)
    
    new szValues[2][10]
    parse(szPcvarRandomValues, szValues[0], charsmax(szValues[]), szValues[1], charsmax(szValues[]))
    
    // debug only
    console_print(id, "- szValues[0]: %s | szValues[1] (values parsed): %s", szValues[0], szValues[1])
     
    new iValues[2]
    iValues[0] = str_to_num(szValues[0])
    iValues[1] = str_to_num(szValues[1])
     
    // debug only
    console_print(id, "- iValues[0]: %d | iValues[1]: %d", iValues[0], iValues[1])
    console_print(id, "- Random value between iValues[0] and iValues[1] (%d and %d): %d", iValues[0], iValues[1], random_num(iValues[0], iValues[1]))
    console_print(id, "---------- DEBUG ENDS ----------")
} 


First of, we just registered the pcvar as usual, then, we got it's value with get_pcvar_string (since it's more than just one value). After, we just parsed it and then, changed it from string to interger. After it, just used random_num with both intergers.

PHP Code:

g_point_cvar = register_cvar("points_amount","5 10")

new Float:points_random_float = get_randomcvar_float(g_point_cvar)
new points_random = floatround( get_randomcvar_float(g_point_cvar) )

get_randomcvar_float(cvar_id)
{
  static cvar_string[21]
  get_pcvar_string(cvar_id, cvar_string, charsmax(cvar_string))

  if(cvar_string[0])
  {
    new string_value1[10], string_value2[10]
    strbreak(cvar_string, string_value1, charsmax(string_value1), string_value2, charsmax(string_value2))

    return random_float( str_to_float(string_value1), str_to_float(string_value2) )
  }
  return 0.0
}

That's what I wanted to know. Thanks all.
